Obama tries to destroy evidence linking him to Ayers
USS NeverdockBut once again Obama is caught in the Web. Here is what Obama was trying to destroy. "When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous little talk in the livingroom of those two legends-in-their-own-minds, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They were launching him–introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread." So, if Ayers isn't relevant to this campaign, why is Obama trying to erase records and lie about his alliance with Ayers?

Did Obama really start his career in the living room of a radical socialist cop-killer?
Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet — Did Obama really start his career in the living room of a radical socialist cop-killer? Patterico, a name whispered in solemn tones within the increasingly lonely halls of the Los Angeles Times , has dug up evidence that he did. More specifically, evidence that somebody's trying to scrub that fact from the Internet . If it's not true, why try to hide it? You need to decide, Obama fans: Either this stuff didn't happen, or it happened but I'm not supposed to care. You need to pick one or the other and stick with it.

And that’s just for starters. Hell, how about his relationship to Ayers and the lies he has told to explain that association? Or how about why it is that evidence of the relationship disappears once it becomes news? But instead of these ...

Patterico is still waiting for a reply from the LA Times — he's publicly proved them wrong so many times that they no longer completely stonewall and ignore him. But lo and behold, by the oddest of coincidences, the blog post that had been "out there" on the internet for more than three years, and that had been only casually mentioned by the Politico.com story without even a link to it — long before the McCain statement that the Obama forces wanted to ridicule — has, as Patterico writes today , been miraculously been scrubbed from its original URL at Musings and ...

Blog Post Addresses Deletion of Evidence of Obama-Ayers Tie
Patterico's Pontifications — Over at the Musings & Migraines blog, Maria Warren has offered up an explanation for sending evidence of an Obama-Ayers tie down the memory hole: Jeez! The howls of indignation. Grow up, people. Yes, it’s gone; that oh-so-exciting post that people can’t seem to get enough of. We know deleting doesn’t erase it from memory. Like so much urine in a swimming pool, trace elements will remain. It’s an odd analogy for one’s own writing, but never mind that. I guess my question is: if you knew that ...

Click on the link and read (or search) for the word “liens.” Down the memory hole. Just like everything else that makes Obama and his supporters look bad.
